Hmm, are saying that if you run one mpi program that does a lot of sends
and hits the assert, then run a second simple program that, e.g., just
does a send and receive, that the second program fails too?

If the failure persists between executions of two separate mpi jobs,
that may indicate a problem with the network (card/driver/etc).

Are you using a special network (e.g., InfiniBand, Myrinet)?
